Show-Off Caesar Salad

This classic salad is traditionally assembled in front of patrons at fine-dining restaurants. To make this recipe at home, simply prep the ingredients in advance and set them out on a tray alongside a wooden serving bowl; take the tray to the table and assemble the salad as your guests watch in awe.

Tip from The Test Kitchen: Caesar dressing gets its rich texture from raw egg. Briefly coddling, or gently simmering, the egg helps eliminate the risk of bacteria without cooking the egg. It's safe for most people to eat raw Canada Grade A eggs that have been handled properly (kept refrigerated, clean and free of cracks), but very young children, pregnant women, the elderly and people with a compromised immune system should avoid eating raw egg.
